We have to figure out how many not-so-appealing assignments a year we have to take to pay the bills and intersperse it with personal work that we find more fulfilling. If we can find and maintain the balance between essential work and personal work, hopefully photography will stay on the joy end of the spectrum. I think the key is balance.

I would be too scared to. Luckily the fear of starving is greater than the fear of failure. I love what I do. And I would forget that if paying customers weren't expecting me to show up.

Interesting to see where the lines between the creative fields (eg. writing and photography) easily intersect. It's easy for the creative process to become a miserable chore, especially if you don't produce daily (cash generating) photographs that you're happy with. Either way, you have to turn around and start the whole process over the next day. Regards, erik What a great post, thanks Tim.
